《外贸函电》复习重点(节选)

《外贸函电》复习重点（节选）《外贸函电》课程是全国高等教育自学考试国际贸易专业专科段必考课程和英语专业的选修课程，是一门融国际贸易业务与英语为一体的实用英语课。

我国已经加入了世界贸易组织，随国际商业往来的日益频繁，对本课程的学习需求与日俱增。

在国际贸易中，买卖双方通过洽商，就各项交易条件取得一致协议后，交易即告达成，买卖双方当事人即存在合同关系。

国际买卖合同的商订是整个交易过程中最重要的一个环节，虽然可以通过口头的方式进行，但实践中，主要是通过函电的方式进行。

1999年出台的《新合同法》第10条和第11条规定：当事人订立合同，有书面形式、口头形式和其他形式。

书面形式是指合同书、信件以及数据电文（包括电报、传真、电子数据交换和电子邮件）等可以有形地表现所载内容的形式。

“函”是“封套”的意思，即是指信件，而“电”即是包括电报、传真、电子数据交换和电子邮件等在内的数据电文的统称。

所以说，函电不仅是洽商国际买卖合同的手段，而且是签订国际买卖合同的主要形式之一。

虽然从狭义的角度讲，《外贸函电》课程属于英语课的范畴，但却有其明显的不同于一般的英语课程的特殊性。

外贸英语函电作为开展对外经济贸易业务和有关活动的重要工具，其课程的开设目的主要是为了让学生能系统地学习、掌握外贸英语函电，主要是书信体的行文结构、专业词汇及语言文体等特点，提高在日常对外经贸工作中正确地使用英语语言和进行对外各项业务联系和通讯活动的能力，以适应对外经济贸易发展的需要。

为了达成这一目的，教材内容按照国际贸易实务程序，涵盖建立业务关系、询价、报盘、外贸政策、还盘、谢绝还盘、确认订货、谢绝订货、实盘、虚盘、续订、形式发票、转交业务关系、支付方式、修改信用证、催开信用证、装运须知、信用证延期、装船、敦促立即装运、请求修改信用证、保险、装运、短重索赔、了结索赔、次品投诉、换货等实务流程，以书信为主体，每课均包括书信范本、生词与表达式、课文注释和课后练习等，旨在使学员了解对外贸易业务各个环节，同时学习和掌握英语在各个业务环节中的应用。
